an example, a friends of mine in texas runs a very big steak house called the taste of texas. everybody knows it in houston. they have 200-plus employees. a great place to work. well, once you get the bulk of regulations you have to abide by, turns out you have to, to be able to survive in the competitive restaurant business, you have to ultimately bring people down in the number of hours they work, and then you have to calculate the ultimate cost. it is a huge burden on businesses. the last thing democrats wanted and so the congressman is right -- is to go into these hotly contested midterm elections and have to defend this all over again. my question is, what happens when 2014 is over? are they going to wait until after the presidential election to implement the obamacare employer mandate? the whole thing is designed to fail and harry reid is right. we're headed toward a single payer system unless the people rise up. >> eric: it's called a train wreck on the way. others are saying maybe there is another reason for the delay in the obamacare, at least portion attention of it.
